LONDON, August 3O.-Therearesey
four Liyeried Companies in London, twelve
great companies and sixty-two minor CON-
panies The great companies are arranged
in order OF civic precedence, as follows:
MERGERS, Grocers, Diapers, FishmOngers,
GoldsmithS, Skiuners, Merchants, Tailors,
Haberdashers, Salters, Ironmongers, Vint-
ners, ClothworkerS. Some of the minor
companies are, in point Of numbers and
wealth, equal to the less opulent OF the
great comraGies. Such are the Armourers,
Carpenters. leather Sellers and Saddlers
Companies. Like the actual value Of the
income, the number OF "Freemen" is
doubtful Estimates differ. They are
often never heard of after they have taken
ont their freedom, until perhaps poverty
oyertakes them, and then they appear as
anxiousappIic,ints for the generous pensions
of the companies. Some think that there
may be O,UOD Freemen altogether.

The Knights of Honor.

The Grand Lodge of this Benevolent
Order is holding its tenth annual session
in Jackson. All its Grand Officers, and
the representatives of eighty-fve of the
one hundred and fifteen Lodges in the
State, responded yesterday at roll-call :.
Grand Dictator b. G. Sims, of Aber-
deem, made such a report of his admin
istration as to elicit the hearty applaus e
ofsthe Grand Lodge. The membership
of. the Grand Lodge includes some of the
most prominent and useful citizens of
the State. The total membership in the
State is 4,696-an increase of A on the
previous year. Total membership in the
United States about $4,000.
n An interesting feature of the present
session is the presence of the Supreme
Dictator of the Order, Hon. l.. A. Gratz,
OF Knoxville, Tenn. He was received
yesterday with the honor due his exalted
station, and last night he delivered a
very interesting address to large audi
ence at the hall of the House of Repre-
sentatives. He is graceful aud fore
ible speaker.
The Grand Lodge resolved, by unani-
nous vote, to meet at Kosciusko next
year, on the fourth Tuesday in August.
The officers are being elected as we go
to press.

The Whole Truth.

The Board of Control of the Mississippi State PEN
itentiary have examined the convict camps along
the Ship Island Railway and adjourned after re-
porting. The camps pronounced in good condi-
tion and the treatment OF the convicts is humane,
and all that can be expected consistent with the
enforcement of discipline and the performance of
the required labor.
The above paragraph was found in the
telegraph columns of the Times Demo
crat, and was editorialised in The CLAIR
ION of June 90 In the succeeding issue
of The CLARION the entire report,
which had not been filed when the para
graph was copied, was printed. Two
newspapers have criticised us for print
ing the paragraph, because it is not a
fair summary of the report. If they
will tell the whole truth, instead of part
of it, there is no danger that we will be
convicted by the public of trying to
practice an imposition.
We have since published the report of
the Grand Jury of Kinds county, and in
this issue we give the reports of the
Board of Control, Superintendent, Cen
eral Manager and Physician, so that the
public may be fully and fairly informed
of all matters relating to the peniten-
tiary.

Missouri Joins The Procession.

Missouri has joined the procession of
Supervision States. According to our
account, she is the 9th State that has
got into line. The bill which has lust
passed at the special session of the Leg
islature, and has been approved by the
Governor, according to his opinion sis
an excellent measure" He says that
plain, and in some instances, severe
penalties, are provided for its violation
by the common carriers, and that they
will afford substantial relief to the pub
lie who have suffered from extortion
and unjust determinations The bill
provides for the appointment of com
missioners, as in most of the other
States. At the regular session a num-
Der of other acts on the same line, were
passed in the interest of the public.
For example: An act prohibiting the
consolidation of parallel or competing
lines; an act prohibiting officers of a
railroad company from furnishing ma
terials or supplies to the company whose
business they manage, and an act re-
quiring company to promptly furnish
cars when demanded, or to haul those
of an individual or business concern for
fair and reasonable compensation.

If ur. Cleveland chooses again to
exert the power of his office for carry.
ing through tax bill, the only chance
of success will be in giving his support
to the policy of which the most pro-
nounced feature is the repeal of the
internal Revenue, and of which the
leading advocate is the Hon. Samuel j.
Randall.
And it is reasonably certain that if
this is not done, whether through the
failure of the Administration or of hos
tility elsewhere, the Democracy will
have to face the issue of 1888 doomed
to almost certain defeat.-N Y. Sun.
The Sun is free lance. Sometimes
it fights on one side, and then on the
other. But 1t is always a protectionist
organ. 1t is jealous supporter of Mr.
Randall's nomination to the Presidency
and says, what the COUNTRY knows, thai
he is the leading advocate" of the plar
of reducing taxation by repeating the
Internal Revenue; which simply meaD.
that instead of reducing the tax on the
necessaries of life, iron, salt, blankets
implements of labor, &C.. he viii take
the tax entirely off whisky, tobacco and
beer. 1t will be long time before Mr.
Randall gets Democratic nomination
on that platform. 1t is the reverse Of
Democratic policy.

A Scandal Unearthed.

The commission appointed under the
recent act of Congress to investigate the
condition and management of the sub
sidized Pacific Railroad corporations,
have unearthed a reeking record of
corruption and bribery. Twenty-Five
years ago, when the subsidy schemes for
building the roads were pending, the
country was rich in valuable lands. The
commission has brought to light through
the testimony of participants in the
nefarious transactions who have passed
off the stage and gone into obscurity,
memoranda revealing the methods that
were used to buy up Cabinet officers,
members of Congress, and influential
friends of public officials. r. w. Thomp-
son. Caleb Smith, J. P. Usher, are the
heads of departments whose names
figure conspicuously, and who have
been dug up from their political graves,
and placed upon pinnacles of infamy
for scorn to point its finger at. "Blaine
of Maine" is there also. The bride
takers have reaped their gains, and the
corporations have realized their over
grown fortunes. The wrong to the PEG.
pie may be irreparable. But ii is well
to let it be told. 1t will point a moral

The A. and N. College.

We publish to-day the report of the
Trustees of the Agricultural and Me-
chanical College. It is well worthy the
considerable space it occupies. It's pc
rusal will be enjoyed by every friend of
the College, and we think it should IA.
vorably impress all, however prejudic ed
they may have been against that institu-
ton. Indeed about the only prejudi ce
that exists is in the shape of an appre-
hension that it was not accomplishing as
fully as it should the work for which it
was established, and that the benefits
we're not commensurate with the ex-
pense. The Trustees very pertinently
remsrk..that "the College was, in the be-
ginning, established on the demand
of the farmers of the State" and
they declare their purpose to main
tain 1t in that interest. The Pres
ident and faculty have kept that
purpose steadily in view, and hence it is
generally conceded that this College is
more nearly meeting the condition of
its endowment BY Congress, "to promote
the liberal and practical education of
the industrial classes than any other
that has been established. What the
College now needs is to put into opera
ton the mechanical feature, so that
young men may learn there how to plan
or build house, construct wagon. or
weld broken bar. The architects of
Mississippi should be supplied very
largely from that institution. and our
young men whose inclinations arein the
line Of the mechanic arts should not BE-
obliged to attend Schools Of Design il
distant States.
In order that the report of the TINS
tees may be circulated as widely Is pos-

Affairs in Mississi ppi are in bad way
The control Of government is mainly in
the hands of corrupt officers who are
growing more desperate daily in their
efforts to cling to the high places from
which honor has fed and profit, or the
love of it, only remains. Love of money
and not a natural ambition to gain rep
utation in the legal service of the pub
lie seems now, as it has been in the past,
to be the ruling motive. But to hold
| the masses of the people of that State
responsible for the existing state of
| things would be unjust. Their servants
arrogate to themselves that which be-
longs TO their masters, the people, and
so long have they been allowed to re-
main undisturbed that they fondly inn
agiue themselves to be too firmly in
trenched to be removed at this late day.
Dressed in little brief authority they
are engaged now in an effort to stifle
popular opinion through the complex
machinery which is so necessary TO the
support of every political ring. Having
once secured possession of the reins OF
government they drive at headlong
speed, threatening death and destruction
to those who stand in their way and
turning deaf ear to the guiding voice
Of the public. By the use of money
which should properly be expended for
! the joint benefit of the general public
they have secured the countenance and
aid of many whose opposition would be
dangerous. Those who cannot b,
t bought are kept silent by threats, anC
, threats, too, which are now and ther
carried into effect. So desperate is tn
case that perjury and open robbery i
followed by murder. The ratification
D of the corrupt ring are more EXTENSIVE
D and its evils almost equally as great a
q were those of the old days of carpet-ba
: supremacy. But at last there is abou
to be an awakening. And a reckoning

exercises in the current month. we
made careful examination into, and
scrutiny of the workings OF the College.
We are not only entirely satisfied, but
highly gratifed at the work done. As
the College was a new thing, outside o.
the old order, necessarily there was
much to learn by observation and expe-
rience, both on the part of Professors
and the Board of Trustees. We note
with pleasure that there has been
steady improvement in methods all the
time. The discipline is excellent. The
Young men are studious and DESTROYS OF
| progress. They show a pride in Agri-
culture and an interest in farm work.
The sixteen graduates at this Com
mencement, we venture to compare, IN
all the knowledge and equipment neees-
sary to successful life, in mental vlgor,
in morals, and in department, with any
equal number coming from any institu
ton in the country. We feel rea
pri lie in their progress so Tar, ana We
confidently predict for them career OF
usefulness to the State and OF honor t'
themselves.
The Faculty has been diligent ane
pains, taking and have discharged thell
duties ably and to our entire satisfac
ton.
We now commend the College to tn
Legislature as worthy of their support
: and we pledge ourselves, that, so lar
in US lies. we will make it che instru
ment of improving and advancing tn
} farming interests of our State, and
t material contribution to the welfare an
